Notes
His second release for Planet Mu this year, Dream on is a proper full-length outing for Ital's Daniel Martin-McCormick and a much more substantial record than the popular and critically acclaimed Hive Mind. On Dream On, Martin-McCormick takes his house and techno experiments even further, deconstructing sunny chords, laid-back drum shuffle and rhythmic vocal loops and threading them with a rich psychodrama of delirious textures, tidal chords and uneasy roughness and dissonance. Having spent over 20 weeks on the road since the completion of Hive Mind, Martin-McCormick reflects the raw energy of the live show and the touring mindset: The heady, dream-feel of house, cut with both dub's fracturing smear and an understanding of the power of distortion, honed from years working in DIY and noise.
